Need of Trading journal for Successful trading

Trading is a process of continuous learning. If a trader pays close attention to what was done wrong or could have been done differently in past trades, a trader can greatly improve future performance.
For example, a trader may notice that there is some commonality in certain trading situations. In fact, by doing a postmortem on all trades, a trader may be able to identify indicators with high degrees of confidence. Likewise, a trade postmortem may reveal a flaw or omission in proper trading procedures. In any case, a trader must make every effort to limit losing trades and a thorough trade postmortem is an important part of each trade.

The trade postmortem and analysis is the final step in closing out a trade. A trade has not been completed until this vital step has been accomplished.

Most Profitable Traders talk to themselves.Spend time with urself ask Yourself question i have listed and be Honest with the answer.

You yourself are your best critics

Did I follow my trading plan properly?

Did I do anything wrong and if so, why?

If I did follow my plan correctly but I lost money, I am not hard on myself. Sometimes this happens!

If I didn’t follow my rules but still made money, however, that’s a problem.

“Why didn’t I follow my rules?”

Was it lack of confidence in the system?

Was it Fear?

Or did my ego want to be the hero that sold the high?”

If I bought or sold too soon, I want to find out why.

Be honest, and ask good questions:

“What worked?

What will I do differently next time?

What was I feeling when I ignored that trade?”
